Help With Front Bar

[TimmyC]

so my mate just hit a tree whilst driving my car.

everything looks fine except my front bar is f**ked and there is a small dent and scratch on the bottom lip of the bonnet.

I was gona get a GTR front bar anyway so now i have some more cash (from him) to help with the purchase.

what is the cheapest way to get a GTR front bar purchased and painted and fitted in Perth?

1) Import from Japan and get it painted and fitted here

2) Import from Eastern states, eg. Just Jap and get painted and fitted here

3) go to a workshop in Perth and get them to do the whole lot eg. Who is good for this ?

4) buy from a group buy or Private sale, i have been looking for one this way for ages and they are so rare !

so what do you rekon is my best option ??

ahhh my bad, i thought i stock GTR front bar would fit a GTST

so i take it they need to be modified ? or do you need to get one specially fitted ?

[mitchy_]

GTR's are fat little bastards.

the bar will fit fine on the front, however where it goes around the sides to meet the gaurds, the gtr has wider guards so it doesnt curve around as much, the gts-t has less wide gaurds, so it needs a 'slimmer' bar.

if you do call fibrevision, just be careful that the bar does actually fit a gts-t.

i bought a bar from them that was supposed to fit a gtst, but the mould was from a gtr, so while the fibreglass flexed and the top could be made to fit, the bottom flared out, looked U G L Y!

when i took it to a shop to get fitted and painted, it was actually cheaper for me to buy a whole new bar and start again, good way to waste $500.

(this was the apparently the case with all their gts-t bumpers, moulded off a gtr which was supposed to be a gts-t!)

I know Paul from Autoworx pretty well and I can tell you that they havent gone bankrupt and definately arnt going to! Its probably just one of those vicious rumours started by another dealer to try to stop people from buying from Autoworx. I know for a fact that Paul got so pissed off after hearing several customers come in and tell him that another dealer was bad mouthing Autoworx cars, that he banned this dealer or their staff from ever coming on the premises anymore!
